Beautiful home and great location
Owners are very involved with the checkin process, asked many personal questions leading up to the stay and were often on the property without notice during our stay. Some people like this level of attention but we found this a bit much. They also threatened to charge us extra fees which came as a shock. Otherwise they were very helpful to accomodate our little one, and this is a great house and location for a family holiday!

Beautiful modernist house in a great location
This is a beautiful, stylish, modernist house. The house was perfect for our short family holiday to Nelson and conveniently located for easy access to the Nelson town centre, local MTB routes and motor routes up to Abel Tasman park. Charles and Rosemary were very gracious hosts who greeted us with the keys on our arrival.
